PACKAGE-CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming but of- Letters Patent No. 763,104, dated June 21,1904.

Application filed August 18, 1903.

To all who) 7'75 um, concern.-

Be it known that I, OSWALD LEUSCHNER, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York city, (Brooklym) county of Kings, and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in Package-Carriers, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a package-carrier which is of simpleconstruction and may be, securely attached to the package.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of my improvedpackage-carrier, and Fig. 2 an end view thereof.

The letter a represents the cylindrical han-' dle of the carrier. Toeach end of handle a there is secured by a nail b a spring-wire hook D,placed at right angles to the handle and adapted to engage the strap orstring of the package. Each hook D is made from a continuous length ofwire and is bent to form an open circular eye d and a pair of divergingshanks 0? cl in the same plane with the eye. The shank d is at its lowerend first bent upwardly, as at 0Z and then downwardly, as at d". In thisway there is formed on the end of shank d an inverted-U-shaped keeper,which is closed at the top and open at the bottom. This keeper isadapted for the reception of the shank d, that constitutes the resilienttongue of the hook, and is sprung into engagement with the keeperthrough the lower open side Serial No- 169,94=4=. (N0 model.

carrier is of simple construction, may be readily manipulated, and asthe hooks extend parallel to each other and at right angles to thehandle the length of the carrier is reduced to a minimum.

What I claim is In a package-carrier, a handle and a pair of parallelhooks extending at right angles therefrom, and each composed of awirebent to form an eye, a pair of diverging shanks in the same plane asthe eye and an inverted- U-shaped keeper at the end of one of theshanks, combined with nails for securing the hooks to the handle.

Signed at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, this31st day of July, A. D. 1903.
